    ^^^ Thanks Man! You were right! I put that other Sequence.java file in the directory that was in the CLASSPATH and then recompiled my program with all the classes in the javax.sound.midi package except for the javas.sound.midi.Sequence class and it came out with the same errors as before! I...

    Please help! C++ Question

    :) Yeah that happens to me with JAVA and also happened to me when I was working with C++. Its hard for me to walk away until I figure it out. But more often than not when I walk away and do something else for a while, the answer just comes to me.

    So the wildcard means it looks at .java files (the file with the actual Source code) as well? There was no other Sequence.class file on my computer since I deleted all of the other Sequence.class files I had. But the program did not work until I moved the Sequence.java file to another...

    Good Java 5 books?

    I have a working knowledge of JAVA, but certainly do not consider myself advanced as I would like to be. My main problem is creating GUIS. Its very frustrating for me, because it seems like using AWT and SWING is trail by error. I want to get to a point where I can have a good idea of what the...

    Heavy processing when idle

    for me it was the hard drive. I am not sure if you are having performance problems or not, but for me that was the problem. Luckily I don't have that problem anymore. But it was very frustrating when windows accessed the hard drive for apparantly no reason and prevented me from doing...

    Should I Reformat my Brand New Notebook? (a Happy Birthday indeed!!!)

    funny you mention this. We have 3 of these things at work (V2405 to be exact). I took one home to play around with and test some of our software on there. It was slow as hell, I finally got fed up when stuff just would not work. Even notepad would freeze up. I finally formatted the...

    Can't burn MP3s to DVD-Rs?

    I have a DVD-ROM drive in my PC that I haven't really used since I built it. Main reason I got it was because it was so cheap. I burned one movie just to test it out, but I haven't used it for burning since. Anyway I have all of my CD's burned into MP3s, since they total over 2 GIGs there...

    RESOLVED: I finally got the latest BIOS upgrade for my mobo, and no more lock ups. I decided to do this after 3dMark01 and 3dMark05 would also lock up. After getting the updates I ran 01 and 05 back to back about 5 times and they no longer locked up. So then I tried Doom3 and Halo again...

    new card-new drivers?

    I dunno if you should upgrade or not. I just upgraded from a 9800 Pro to an 800XL, and downloaded ccc 5.10 and I am getting VPU recovery errors all over the place. I kind of wish I could have continued using my 9800 Pro. I never had any problems with that or its drivers.

    good point. I did take the compaq board out and tried another board in it, and it fit. But then again the other board came out of a Compaq as well. I guess I am just trying to see if I can rebuild that Compaq into a much better PC.
